Indoor White Plains Artisan Fair Will Raise Funds for Local Refugee Resettlement Efforts

White Plains, NY, April 26th, 2017 - The Ethical Culture Society of Westchester is having a Fair Trade & Artisan Craft Fair to support local refugee resettlement efforts. It will take place on Saturday, May 6th, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm at the Society's location at 7 Saxon Wood Road in White Plains. It's supposed to rain Saturday, but we're indoors, so stop by and stay dry!

It will feature unique handmade items, including art glass, woodwork, ceramics, jewelry, quilts, summer weight knits, bags, printed tees, greeting cards, organic body care, baby items, candles, and potted plants.

The show will also include local writers from Westchester Indie Authors; gourmet baked goods from Aunt Patti Cake Bakery; a flea market table; low cost face painting; poetry-on-demand; live piano music; and non-profit organizations like Amnesty International, Indivisible Westchester, and Operation L.I.P.S.T.I.C.K.

There will also be a food drive for the benefit of the Open Arms men's shelter in White Plains; all non-perishable donations are welcome.

All of the Society's proceeds will go to the Interfaith Council for New Americans, which supports refugees making new homes here in Westchester County.

Founded in 2016, the Council is a non-political, non-religious, all-volunteer group composed of six congregations in White Plains and New Rochelle. It provides support to new arrivals in the form of fundraising; finding safe and affordable housing; locating potential job opportunities; collecting furniture, clothing, and household goods; and connecting them to medical, education, religious, and other resources and services in the community.

The Ethical Culture Society is a humanist congregation dedicated to ethical living, and working to create a better world for everyone.
